Other Options<\/h3>\n
While the above is how I put together the ingredients I had \u2013 I was trying to be efficient \u2013 here are some other meal ideas you could use them in:<\/p>\n
\n- A bison patty with a spinach side salad<\/li>\n
- A fruit salad of mangoes, cantaloupe, grapes, and bananas<\/li>\n
- Mashed and heated kabocha squash with toasted brown rice and coconut milk<\/li>\n
- Arugula with roasted grapes and garlic scapes<\/li>\n
- Saut\u00e9ed red pepper, garlic scapes, chopped olives and mushrooms rolled in kale leaves and steamed just enough to soften the leaves<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It worked out well to eat a hearty breakfast. After hiking all day on breakfast and some snacks, I really didn\u2019t crave heavy meals later on. Light fruit and veggies were all I needed.<\/p>\n

What I did take was a French press (a life saver), a tea ball, a pocket knife, a couple of zip baggies, a water bottle, and the cooler I packed everything in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
